Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors are rare tumors with an increasing incidence over the last several decades. Early detection remains challenging because patients commonly develop symptoms late in the disease course, often after the tumors have ...

Expression of a neuroendocrine gene signature in gastric tumor cells from CEA 424-SV40 large T antigen-transgenic mice depends on SV40 large T antigen. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundA large fraction of murine tumors induced by transgenic expression of SV40 large T antigen (SV40 TAg) exhibits a neuroendocrine phenotype. It is unclear whether SV40 TAg induces the neuroendocrine phenotype by preferential transformation of ...

Elastic free energy drives the shape of prevascular solid tumors [PDF]
, 2014 It is well established that the mechanical environment influences cell functions in health and disease. Here, we address how the mechanical environment influences tumor growth, in particular, the shape of solid tumors. In an in vitro tumor model, which isolates mechanical interactions between tumor cells and a hydrogel, we find that tumors grow as ...

Tumor growth with nutrients: stability of the tumor patches [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, we study a tumor growth model with nutrients. The contact inhibition for the tumor cells, presented in the model, results in the evolution of a congested tumor patch. We study the regularity of the tumor patch as the nutrients' diffusion strength $D$ diminishes.

WHO Grade 2 Neuroendocrine Tumor in a 15-Year-Old Male: A Case Report and Literature Review
Case Reports in Pathology, 2014 Neuroendocrine tumors, distinguished from adenocarcinomas by their neuroendocrine differentiation, are the most common pediatric epithelial malignancy that most often occurs in the appendix. In 2010, the WHO classified neuroendocrine neoplasms into three

The architecture of co-culture spheroids regulates tumor invasion within a 3D extracellular matrix [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Tumor invasion, the process by which tumor cells break away from their primary tumor and gain access to vascular systems, is an important step in cancer metastasis. Most current 3D tumor invasion assays consisted of single tumor cells embedded within an extracellular matrix (ECM). These assays taught us much of what we know today on how key biophysical

Neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) of the stomach and intestines - early diagnosis and minimally invasive endoscopic procedures [PDF]
Морфологія, 2014 Background. Neuroendocrine tumors of the stomach and intestines are rare diseases. Increasing incidence and complexity of diagnosis of these diseases cause acuteness of the problem. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of morphological examination of

Rigorous results of limiting behaviors of total tumor size under cyclic intermittent therapy for the system of reversible phenotype-switchable tumor cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We are keenly interested in finding the limiting behaviors of total tumor size when tumor cells are subject to the periodic repetition of therapy and rest periods, called intermittent cyclic therapy. We hypothesize that each tumor cell can take either therapy-sensitive or therapy-tolerant phenotype, its phenotype transition is mainly driven by the ...

A Brand-new Research Method of Neuroendocrine System [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 In this paper, we present the empirical investigation results on the neuroendocrine system by bipartite graphs. This neuroendocrine network model can describe the structural characteristic of neuroendocrine system. The act degree distribution and cumulate act degree distribution show so-called shifted power law-SPL function forms.
